LG Cookie Price: Php11,900

True to their words, LG Philippines launched today the cheapest fully touchscreen phone in the Philippines – the LG KP500 or the LG Cookie. My prediction of under Php15k was surpassed — it’s actually just Php11,900.

As expected, LG’s approach was to reach as many people in the market and give them an option to get a full touch screen phone at a very affordable price. Yes, they sacrificed 3G and WiFi connectivity just to be able to get the LG Cookie to that price.

It’s a huge gamble but if they can attract enough people with the Php12k price and get them to get used to their Flash UI interface as well as a virtual keyboard, then they could introduce a more equipped version next year (which executives say they’ll do).

For the meantime, LG is addressing an obvious gap in the market — people who are eager to try full touch screen phones but would not want to risk shelling out 20k, 30k or 40k for it.

    My dad just got one for his Smart plan 800 retention; He didn’t like it since its not the “use it on the go” type; Globe gamit ko and Sim locked pero kudos sa LG hindi mahirap i-unlock, wala din kailangan i-patch. Now gamit ko sa Globe nice phone, Sana nga lang may wifi.
